The Liberty Ship cover is one of a group honoring famous Americans.

Wiley Post was a renowned 1920-30s era flyer, who set Round-the-World Flight Records in 1931 and 1933.

See his web pages for the details of his risk-taking, long-distance flying. 

He died with Will Rogers in an Alaska plane crash in 1935.

During WW II, a Liberty Ship, SS Wiley Post, was named is his honor, and

was built in Los Angeles, CA and launched in 1943.
